Google AdWords campaign not showing up in Google Analytics

[WhitePhantom]

Hi,

Not entirely sure if this is in the right section - hopefully it is.

I've created a couple of Google AdWords, and they've driven a certain amount of traffic to my site. However that traffic is not registering in my Traffic Sources in Google Analytics - the campaign name is showing, and when I click the campaign name I see the two ad groups under that campaign, but it's showing 0 hits. Just a flatline graph and a message "This AdWords campaign sent 0 visits via 2 ad groups".

Is there something I need to do to get it to count the hits from the ads?

Thanks,
J.

Dumb question, but are they both under the same google account?

They are, I'm using the same login details for both.

The fact that the AdWords campaign is showing up in Analytics is really baffling me - can't figure why it's picking up the campaign and ad groups, but not the clicks...

You need to enable auto tagging.
You should also make sure that your pages load with the parameter added to the end of your URL.

If that's all set up correctly, we're talking about an issue that might be related here:

Aha, thanks a mil Redfly - auto tagging wasn't enabled.

No worries.

Remember to manually tag your other campaigns (Or Adcenter/YSM) using this:

Also, remember to apply cost data to your analytics account to get the really cool margin and ROI reports.
